It was one of my nemesis birds up until a few years back.
I got an ID shot back then.
This time I got close to one at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
It was a one day wonder there.
I met and had a nice coversation with Kenn Kaufman,
one of my birding heroes, (author of many books) which was the highlight of my trip.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent portrait of a beautiful Warbler. Excellent details with lovely perch & BG. IMO it would have been perfect if the bird placed a little more to the right of the frame. TFS
Nice perch, nice clean BG and the yellows are handled just right. If this is not full frame I would loosen the crop just a bit.
Beautiful subject here the yellow are spot on and he is on a nice perchwith a cleran BG. I agree with Jack on going with a looser crop and I wish you had just a touch more HA towards the viewer
This is one sweet shot Karl, can relate to having a nemisis bird, I have one called an Orange Chat that live on low bushes out in the open and impossible to get near to.
I can understand the thoughts behind having a looser crop, and compositionally it may look better proportioned, but as I've often mentioned....if an image is this good you have to flaunt it so I personally like " big in frame " lol
Yellows look nicely exposed, the light looks pretty well handled and lovely eye, simple small perch and smooth backdrop.....congrats on capturing the sneaky little " Cardassians { I watch too much Star Trek }
Karl,
Stunner! Lovely detail in the feathers and it looks like you nailed a photo of your nemesis!
Very neat that you got to meet Kenn Kaufman - and I bet that made the day even sweeter.

Ditto Jack and Don. Excellent yellows and I love the budding leaves.
I also agree on a looser crop if you have it, but that is one beautiful Warbler!
Excellent image. Great details in yellows.Nice HA,perch and beautiful BG.

Great shot Karl. Excellent exposure and details in this beautiful little bird. Nice perch and smooth BG add up to a wonderful shot. One of your best in a while! Oh,and I like the comp too.
Excellent image quality, great details and sharpness.
